    trying to add a window to my chicken coop but know nothing about tools

    I need to buy one, maybe a jig saw? I don't know. All I have right now is a hack saw and a circular saw, but my circular saw is too heavy and a hack saw wouldn't work. I have to cut out a rectangular hole in the wall. You tell me what kind of saw because I have no idea. I know a jig saw would...

    trying to add a window to my chicken coop but know nothing about tools

    I just had a chicken coop built by a handy man, but he charges $45 an hour. I want to add an opening to one of the walls for air flow at night in the heat of the summer, like now. The coop is made of plywood. I was thinking of finding an old used cabinet door with hinges to use for the door and...

    Trying to mix 5 week old chicks with 7 week old chicks! Impossible?

    Just wanted to fill everyone in. It worked. I put my 2 baby roosters in a dog kennel on the side of the run and left the three female Rhode Island Reds in with the two older pullets, and it worked. Thank you everyone. They are almost grown now

    Trying to mix 5 week old chicks with 7 week old chicks! Impossible?

    When I tried this morning and left the door open to the dog crate, the giant white and black cockerel went in and attacked, chasing them around and getting ruff. He is the largest. You are so right in everything you said. Next week, when they (my first batch) get a little bigger, I may try...

    Trying to mix 5 week old chicks with 7 week old chicks! Impossible?

    I hope I can do this. I lost my chickens last September when I broke my arm. I couldn't catch my chickens to put them in the pen after free ranging them. Sometimes in the past, I would let them roost on my front porch with the spot light on, so I thought they would be ok, but something got to...

    Tractor Supply Online Ordering??

    Just ordered 10 mix between road island red and golden comet. I really only wanted 4 but there is a limit of at least 10. I want to give the others away to a good home. What would be the best way to go about that? I ordered ISA Browns around easter, they had just started laying. They were so...

    update on "Reintroducing Hen to flock" Red, Blue, and Yellow

    Thank you so, so much!! I will do that. Would like to ask another question if you know or anyone else knows. Like I said, Blue was sick for a while, and had stopped laying. I put her in a warm bath two days ago and she laid something the next day that looked weird. She hadn't laid eggs in a...

    update on "Reintroducing Hen to flock" Red, Blue, and Yellow

    An update on my last post""I only have 3 hens. They are pets really. One was sick and I removed her from the other 2 that were raised with her. I call her blue. They were all three raised together from the time they were chicks, close and never fought. They all knew their place in the flock. I...
